Stopping Ocean Pollution

April 20. Roland Geyer, PhD, UCSB Bren School of Environmental Science will discuss how plastic waste within the world’s oceans is greater than the estimated 250,000 metric tons floating on top. California is currently tied up in a plastic-bag controversy with enough signatures to put a referendum to the statewide bag ban on the November 2016 ballot because plastic bags are real environmental hazards. Event includes refreshments, parking and wine tasting. On-line registration and $15 tickets at www.cleantechnologycouncil.org
